.Taalt whom It may concern:

' Be it'kncwn that I, ALBERT BAUR, of Gispersleben, near Erfurt, Germany, have invented an Improved Process'of Making Artifollcwing is a specifi'cation.

i This invention has fol-its object to produce a cheap substitute. for musk.

' chloride, bromide 01' iodide,

Toluol is mixed with the-combinations of buienewith. the halogens -'such as butyl which are all equivaleutsfor the purposes of this invention-and is boiled at the return-cooler in conjunction with chloride or bromide of alwmini-um, The product of the reaction is mixed with water and distilled with steam. The W.- pors arising between 170 to 200 centigrede are collected and treated with a mixture of fuming nitric acid and sulphuric acid. The

product, after being washed with water, is

' crystallized from alcohol. Yellowish-w-hite crystals are obtained, which smell strongly like musk. If dissolvedin alcohol and mixed with a little ammonia or carbonate. of emnionium', a, liquid is formed which is very similar to the tincture of musk.

What I claim isv The process of making artificial musk in'a crystallized form, which consists in mixing toluol with, biityl chloride, diluting. the product of the reaction with water, distilling it with steam, treating the vapors with a mixtu we of fuming nitric and sulphuric acid, and crystalli'ziug' the prod not from alcohol, substantially as specified.
